This was an amazing adventure that exceeded all expectations. The beauty of the Hebrides is legendary, but for us this trip was enhanced by a great crew. Rob's quiet leadership was evident in the way the whole team worked brilliantly together. His ability to judge the weather in getting us to St. Kilda was one of the highlights of the trip. We covered a lot of 'sea", saw many of the stunning islands and Rob always found a beautiful, quiet mooring each evening. Craig provided such excellent service in a professional yet warm and friendly way. Sarah's cooking was just amazing and every meal was delicious - gosh we were spoiled. Learning and experiencing the wildlife of the Islands was such a remarkable aspect of the whole cruise and we were so lucky having Zoe as our wildlife expert. Her knowledge is amazing as is her eyesight!! She was always vigilant and a great guide on the Islands. This was such a memorable week with a super team. Nothing was too much trouble. Thank you all so very much for a very, very special time. Judy Hobrough and Michael Parson

Dear Emma, It was lovely to meet you briefly both before and after our recent cruise - Fiona and I had such a wonderful time, the fellow passengers were great company but what really made the trip was the fantastic crew, James (for the first 2 days), Bren, Zoe, Hannah and Charlie. They were so professional but also very personable and we could not have asked for better care (or indeed better food when it came to Charlie!). The cruise gave some spectacular highlights but for me the encounter with the humpback whale on the return leg was amazing but even better was the sunset off the Cairns of Coll - the evening meal had just finished when Bren came to announce that the sunset promise to be spectacular. I spent a good hour on the top deck photographing the beauty of the sunset but was aware of something special as Zoe, Hannah and Bren remained on top and there was total silence as we reflected on the profoundness of the scene.
